Tim Cobb. Principal Doublebass of New York Philharmonic, Doublebass Department Chair of the Julliard School, and happy owner of Lloyd #28.

"I chose a Nick Lloyd bass because I needed something that I could fly with and be practical to play with ease in the high register… as I love to play solo contemporary repertoire. The 40.5″ string length and sloped-shoulder model works wonders for me. I was immediately satisfied with the sound when I first picked up the bass, and now that the instrument is a little over a year old the sound has really opened up and the bass resonates beautifully." – Kathryn Schulmeister

"...one of the most comfortable basses I have ever played..." - Adam Ben Ezra

“Tonal complexity and raw power… extremely comfortable… I won my audition with your bass… your instrument is a joy to play…”
